Oh What a Night! The First of November 2023
Baseball in November is a rare occurrence, especially a team taking a single game to win a World Series title. However, it adds more excitement to the game. Question: Where were you on the evening of November 1, 2023? If you were either a Texas Rangers or Arizona Diamondbacks fan, most likely, your attention was on Game 5 of the World Series. This past Saturday was the two-year anniversary of the Texas Rangers capturing their first World Series title in franchise history. To celebrate it, I watched the aforementioned game again. Two years ago, I didn't have access to any sports apps where I could watch the games on TV, resulting in me being unable to watch any Postseason games and the first three games of the World Series. Luckily, I was able to watch games four and five. When baseball fans think of the World Series, the teams that come in mind are the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers. No one expected the Rangers and Diamondbacks, two small market teams, to reach the Fall Classic.

World Series Game Six: Yama-Ween
You know, it's always special when the World Series lands on Halloween. It was 24 years ago on Halloween that Derek Jeter hit his famous walk-off in Game Four of that year's World Series, earning him the "Mr. November" nickname due to the fact that it was past midnight on November 1 in New York when he homered. 2009's World Series saw Game 3 take place on Halloween, with A-Rod homering in that game. The current schedule in recent years pretty much guarantees that the Fall Classic will land on Halloween and even enter the month of November, and this year was no exception.
